Well, I finally got a chance to see the '82 280SL today.
The engine sounded like a sewing maching, the clutch was on its last legs and, most importantly, there were a number of spots in the floor that already had rusted through. The paint job, which was relatively new, looked like a MAACO job with a good amount of "orange peel". Needless to say, it wasn't the car I was looking for!!!!!

"The engine sounded like a sewing machine"
Is this a positive or negative comment? Bummer about the rust, but it still might be a buy at a reduced price for the driive train.
